How to raise a random guy's wife

She left, pursing her lips, under the watchful eyes of others.

Hearing her words, Kobayashi Sora finally understood.

As expected of a diplomat's daughter, she hit the nail on the head.

As a fan, getting to know the creator is a great thing.

If the creator likes it, that's even more impressive.

However, Aki Tomoya only likes the works.

Therefore, he likes to be liked by creators.

But I won't like the creators.

Because the creator likes it, the creator will create works that the creator likes.

But to respond to this kind of liking, he should do what creators like to do.

The situation that Kobayashi Sora couldn't understand was essentially that simple.

It's so simple that it almost feels like a given.

but......

What kind of bullshit logic is this?

"what."

Kobayashi Sora let out a laugh that didn't sound like laughter.

"Anyway, the meeting is over." Kobayashi Sora waved his hand listlessly. "Game production continues. Meeting adjourned."

As for Aki Tomoya's expression at this moment, Kobayashi Sora no longer wanted to look at it.

Anyway, it was an expression he didn't want to see.

After quickly packing her things and taking Kato Megumi's schoolbag, Kobayashi Sora also left the audiovisual classroom.

"Alan..." Michiru Hyodo called softly, "Are you alright?"

"I...I'm fine..." Aki Tomoya looked at the script that had been torn in two. Just now, it seemed that other things had also been torn in two.

By him.

"We were making a game... why did it turn out like this?" Aki Tomoya murmured to himself, "Please don't let it turn out like this."

"That's how it'll turn out," Michiru Hyodou said, swinging her legs as she sat on her desk. "Otherwise, besides Kobayashi, who would need to join the club to make games?"

"..." Aki Tomoya was silent for a moment, "Didn't you just say you had thought of an amazing piece of music?"

"I'm not in the mood right now."

Chapter 241 I Walk Towards You

"Senior..." Kato Megumi finally caught up with Kasumigaoka Utaha, "Hmm... I'll go back with you."

"Don't worry," Kasumigaoka Utaha said expressionlessly. "I won't do anything foolish."

“Saying something like that means you’ve thought it through,” Kato Megumi said, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha’s profile.

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her sideways, "Megumi, you really are that kind of character."

"No, not at all."

"I haven't said which one yet."

"..."

"Speaking of which... I should thank you."

"Eh?"

“If I had never seen the sun, I could have endured the darkness,” Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured. “If I hadn’t seen you, I think I would have continued to strive.”

Before encountering the way Kobayashi Sora and Kato Megumi interacted, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't feel there was anything wrong with her relationship with Aki Tomoya.

She had never been in a relationship before, so how would she know what a suitable relationship was like?

The only reference point is Eriri.

Eriri is not as good as Kasumigaoka Utaha.

For a considerable period of time, Kasumigaoka Utaha was full of confidence and felt good about herself.

Until... I met Megumi Kato and Sora Kobayashi.

It was only after meeting them that Kasumigaoka Utaha realized...

Even someone as ruthless and opportunistic as Kobayashi Sora becomes gentle and sensitive when she's with someone she likes.

Even someone as inconspicuous as Megumi Kato is a unique and special person in the eyes of the person she likes.

When your loved one is right beside you, and you want to get closer to them every moment, how could you be so clueless about romance?

A glance is a call, a call is a heartbeat, and a heartbeat is a touch of tenderness.

I love you so deeply, how could I possibly hide it?

Look at them, and then think about yourself.

Many things become clear.

However... thinking it through doesn't mean you can accept it.

"Because I'm the author, I understand it better. This is the kind of city I live in, but I just wanted to try—just one last time."

"I think I understand what you mean." Kato Megumi looked a little troubled. "But I feel like saying sorry will make you angry."

“You’ve already said it.” Kasumigaoka Utaha interlaced her fingers, raised her arms above her head, and stretched her body, revealing a beautiful arc. “The fault lies not with you, but with me, so there’s nothing to apologize for… The outcome was predetermined, and it has nothing to do with you.”

"Destined?"

"To put it simply," Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to smile, but in the end only managed a strained twitch of her lips, "what if Sora had to choose between you and me?"

"Ah... I'm sorry."

"As expected, I still don't like you." This kind of confidence that makes people envious is something that Kasumigaoka Utaha herself also agrees with, which makes her even angrier. "I'll accept this apology."

Kato Megumi thought for a moment, "But I feel like this kind of multiple-choice question wouldn't have existed in the first place."

“That’s right, the ending is already determined when it becomes an option.” Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her arms and looked into the distance. “True love is never one of the options.”

It is a passage with only a dead end and no forks.

The appearance of any branching option is a denial of this feeling.

From the moment she made herself an option, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that Aki Tomo wouldn't choose the second version either.

“Now that we already know the answer…” Kato Megumi wondered, “why bother writing a second version? And why did we have to do it in the audiovisual classroom… Ah, Eriri?”

"Ah."

"If the problem is solved, everyone is happy. But if the conflict is only temporarily suppressed, it will eventually erupt again."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kobayashi Sora said this, they were referring to Eriri.

She was also talking about herself.

It's also referring to Eriri.

Kato Megumi guessed that Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want to delay the game's development.

Kobayashi Sora guessed that Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted Aki Tomoya to make a choice.

But as Kato Megumi said, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't need to force Aki Tomoya to make a statement in the audiovisual classroom.

This is a private matter between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Aki Tomoya.

It's perfectly acceptable to communicate privately.

Since they chose to settle things in the audiovisual classroom, they naturally wanted others to see this scene.

Kato Megumi and Kobayashi Sora knew the whole story and naturally didn't want them to see it.

Hyodo Michiru had no idea what the ins and outs of the matter, and naturally didn't want her to see it.

So, the one left is Eriri.

In Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind, Eriri had only temporarily suppressed her inner conflict.

Therefore, she will use the final script and the choice regarding the audiovisual classroom to help Eriri completely solve the problem.

What is Aki Tomoya thinking? What kind of person is he?

Kasumigaoka Utaha has seen it clearly.

After witnessing this, Eriri will also see things clearly.

"Since I have no hope left, I will crush hers as well." Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted. "If I can't have her, she can't have her either."

“I know that,” Kato Megumi recalled. “It’s that kind of tsundere that’s often seen in games, right?”

"You seem to have misunderstood something?"

"Really?" Kato Megumi tilted her head and said in a stern tone, "It's not for your own good. I just don't like you and want to teach you a lesson—that's about it?"

"I'm not a tsundere like Eriri!"

“Yes, yes, that’s the sentence structure.” Kato Megumi nodded. “I was just thinking about what was missing.”

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped in her tracks. "I'm home."

"Well......"

"I'm not in a good mood, so I won't invite you in," Kasumigaoka Utaha confessed. "You can rest assured now that I've dropped you off here."

"Mmm." Kato Megumi waved her little hand. "Bye-bye."

"benefit."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

“I think the same thing.” Kato Megumi put her hands behind her back. “Thank you, senpai.”
